SWIM - Women in Mathematics - Summer Workshop for High School Students

游泳--数学中的女性--高中生暑期工作坊是一个为期10天的工作坊，旨在留住有才华的女学生，并鼓励她们在从高中到大学的关键过渡点上追求科学和数学事业。游泳项目将才华横溢的学生聚集在一个紧张的研讨会上，他们比通常情况下更早地学习高级数学主题，并致力于自己的研究项目。它的目的是展示数学作为一门“活的学科”，激发参与者对知识的好奇心，并传达对这门学科的热情。通过将具有很强数学天赋的女高中生聚集在一起学习和工作，并在数学生涯的进一步阶段向她们介绍女性榜样，游泳项目鼓励这些学生考虑自己的数学生涯。该项目的参与者主要是正在崛起的大四学生。他们是在全国范围内招募的，并根据他们的数学天赋进行挑选。讲习班上午的课程包括两门课程，这两门课程比普通高中课程更高级，性质也不同。下午，由两到三名参与者组成的小组根据课程材料共同开展小型研究项目。每天下午结束时，所有参与者都会参加一个名为“女性参与数学”的研讨会，向参与者介绍各种选择从事数学工作的女性，并与她们讨论一系列广泛的问题。在整个工作坊中，参与者与本科生、研究生和数学系教职员工进行互动；他们住在校园内的一所大学里，因此可以一窥本科生的生活。

SWIM -- Women in Mathematics -- Summer Workshop for High School Students is a 10-day workshop seeking to retain talented female students, and to encourage them to pursue a career in science and mathematics, at the crucial transition point from high school to college. The SWIM program brings together talented students in an intense workshop in which they learn, earlier than is typically the case, advanced mathematical topics, and work on their own research project. It aims to showcase mathematics as a "living discipline", to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of the participants, and to convey enthusiasm for the subject. By bringing together as a group female high school students with a strong talent for mathematics, to study and work together, and introducing them to female role models at further stages in a mathematical career, the SWIM program encourages these students to consider such a mathematical career for themselves.Participants in the program are predominantly "rising seniors". They are recruited countrywide, and selected on the basis of their mathematical talent. The morning sessions of the workshop consist of two courses, which are more advanced and of a different nature than typical high school courses. In the afternoon, groups of two to three participants work together on small research projects based on the material of the courses. At the end of each afternoon all the participants meet for a "Women in Mathematics" seminar, introducing the participants to a variety of women who chose to pursue a career in mathematics, and discussing a wide range of issues with them. Throughout the workshop the participants interact with undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty of the Mathematics Department; they are housed in one of the colleges on campus and thus get a glimpse of life as an undergraduate student.
